Daily minimum and maximum temperatures and humidities and are stored as are daily rainfall and evaporation totals (if available). A large number of charts and tabular reports can be generated from those stored values.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MetLog at none against WeatherLink's shown. MetLog also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). WeatherLink's advantage is chart position (#174 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
